I'm usually a fairly obtuse individual when it comes to geocaching and in fact with life in general but I still pay attention to things like steep drop-offs, plants with sharp thorns, fast-moving traffic, rabid dogs foaming at the mouth, etc. . . . which is probably why I often don't find the cache right away when I'm solo or often last when I'm in a group (although I can say that I wasn't the one person in New Sweden who was wondering where the cache was when it was hanging directly over his headOriginally Posted by WhereRWe?
Sheesh! Are you telling me that you're NOT like everyone else? That when you're within 20 feet of a cache, you're looking at plants, and not for the traditional pile of sticks?).
Of course this could be due to the fact that as an EMT the one thing they drill into your head from Day 1 is to check around and determine if the scene is safe . . . something that a lot of folks forget as I've seen over and over while responding to emergency calls when tunnel vision sets in.
